Building a Global Real Assets Portfolio

Implementing the Realization Adding private real assets to pension plan allocations

The Challenge

How to reliably fund a pension’s long-term obligations

Slowing economic growth & heightened volatility in developed markets compel pensions to search for better diversification & inflation sensitivity, lower portfolio volatility, higher income, and global exposure.
As a result, a strictly traditional equity + fixed income approach is no longer a viable long-term strategy.
Diversifying into real assets is a compelling option, but there is a need for a broad education on the asset class and available options

J.P. Morgan’s Global Real Assets Omni framework

Step 1: education on the real assets market: the fundamentals & opportunities, the risks & benefits
Step 2: a careful explanation of the Global Real Assets Omni framework for holistically approaching portfolio construction
Step 3: use the Omni framework to locate opportunities which meet a pension fund’s key risk/return objectives
Step 4: initiate a reliable, repeatable portfolio modeling process using the Global Real Assets Omni platform
